Happy Halloween

Building bunnies and banners.

I'm feeling Halloweenie and pushing to finish my projects before it's all over and time to squeeze out something for Christmas. Here's a peek at the dress I'm making for pretty Esmeralda, my little witch bunny.

I used about 15 colours to make the candy corns in the Happy Halloween banner for a bunny photo shoot. My husband, David made a bunch of mini ghosties tied on a string to hang in their cute little bunny window. He also made the window, and a kitchen table to put under it!

I just love these tiny lanterns. They're going to come in very handy for painting my greeting card, Esmeralda and the Spooky Boo. She's running under a big branch of them in the drawing. The owl in the corner wearing a sheet and saying Boooo instead of Whoooo, is the spooky boo.

Just a handful of some of the colours I'll be using. I know I'm pushing it trying to have the card ready for Halloween but this is really a warm up for the book cover, Tale of the Black Mamba. And the candy corn banner was a warm up for this card. I get so jittery when I'm starting a new painting.

Here's a beautiful picture my youngest daughter, Daphne took with her iphone while she was shopping. So colourful. That's some kind of phone!
